Wire Washer

TT CW.
The Toscotec Wire Washer TT CW is used to obtain an efficient removal of ashes, inks, glues, and fines by means of low consistency stock washing and consequent thickening. Pulp is fed uniformly by a special feeding pipe. A fiber web is then created between the forming roll and the wire.

The stock is thickened and washed due to the centrifugal and draining effect. It is picked-up by a doctor and then collected in a hopper or transferred by a screw to a chest from where, once diluted, it is sent to the downstream process. The recovered water, rich of contaminants, is collected in a water tank and sent to clarification.

The Toscotec Wire Washer TT CW is driven by a variable speed motor, in order to be flexible and automatically adapt its capacity to varying production needs. The rolls are rubber covered and kept cleaned by doctor blades. The wire is tensioned via pneumatic cylinders and is controlled by a pneumatic guide roll. The wire run is complete of all the necessary accessories to optimize the unit operation; the frame is in cantilever in order to reduce as much as possible the downtime for wire change. All the components in contact with stock and water are manufactured in stainless steel.
